Philosophy & Approach

Working with Stephanie has had a genuinely positive impact on my life, particularly during a challenging transition period as I moved from university into a very demanding job. When I first started our sessions, I was feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and struggling to manage the pressure I was putting on myself.

Through our work together, Stephanie helped me develop a much healthier balance by guiding me to set clearer boundaries and prioritise my own wellbeing. She created a safe, supportive space where I felt comfortable opening up, and provided practical tools to help me navigate stress and difficult situations more effectively.

Over time, I have been able to incorporate her guidance into my daily life, which has made a real difference in how I manage challenges and avoid taking too much on my shoulders. I now feel more grounded, more resilient, and in a significantly better place than when I first began therapy.

I am very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate, and effective guidance.

I saw Stephanie following a recommendation from my GP, and the impact on my life has been profound. Her support has positively influenced my relationships, career decisions, and personal growth, especially during a major transitional period.

Stephanie provides a safe, non-judgmental space to process past experiences and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, offering practical tools that bring real clarity and change. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Stephanie created a space that felt both supportive and practical. She balanced exploring emotions and past experiences with concrete tools to manage in-the-moment anxiety. Her warm, thoughtful perspective helped me see situations in different and meaningful ways. I felt heard and understood in our sessions, and I came away with increased resiliency and self-awareness that improved my day-to-day life.

I only have positive things to say about Stephanie! She is an excellent counsellor and a kind and empathetic listener. I was hesitant initially finding a new counsellor, as it can be difficult to find a perfect match; but from the start, she has provided a safe and calming environment and completely put me at ease. She is easy to talk to and I have been able to explore a number of issues, including addiction, workplace stress, burnout, childhood trauma, relationships, and intimacy. It can be very hard to find a counsellor that will work with individuals with dual diagnoses, especially personality disorders, but she has welcomed and supported me in every aspect of my therapeutic journey. I have been able to open up in ways I didn’t think possible and I am so thankful for all of the time we have spent together so far. She really has changed my life and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a welcoming and mindful therapy space. She is superb!

During my sessions, I have learnt so much and this has helped me to understand myself better and learn to love myself. My anxiety was extreme at the start of our counselling sessions, it was spilling out everywhere. Now I realise from picking up tools within our sessions that I am more resilient and better equipped to handle whatever comes my way. I have come a long way and that is due to Stephanie. She is calm, nurturing, compassionate and I really feel held which helps me to open up and look at myself while feeling supported. I have always been a carer since I was a child so my patterns are deep! Stephanie is by far the best counsellor I have ever had. She mixes her empathic non-judgemental, compassionate/loving approach with her academic background in mental health. Her counselling sessions have made a difference to my life.

Stephanie helped me cross a bridge I didn’t think I would ever have gotten over without her steadfast support and guidance. Sharing my story with her was instrumental in helping me connect the dots and shape how I am now. She is an exceptional therapist and helped me step out of the dark, murky water and live again. Looking back at where we started, it’s hard to believe I viewed myself so negatively.

“I engaged in therapy with Stephanie for a year. There were some really difficult sessions, but Stephanie created a containing and validating space. I’m no longer significantly troubled by the negative thoughts and patterns of behaviour that I had been. When I have a negative thought now, I’m able to use the tools and techniques that I learnt in therapy, to not let them further impact me. I feel proud of myself for having had the courage to tackle the difficulties, and so grateful to Stephanie for guiding me through this.”

I am very grateful for the support and guidance provided by Stephanie during a really challenging time. When my mum was diagnosed with dementia, I felt very overwhelmed, and Stephanie gave me not only professional guidance but also compassion and understanding. My sessions with Stephanie are a safe space where I can express my thoughts, fears and frustrations without judgment. Thanks to Stephanie for her continued support.

Stephanie helped me navigate a break-up and develop a sense of identity and independence that I’ve never really had but always yearned for. This has made me more content and hopeful again.

Stephanie’s been a wonderful therapist. She listens very well and is able to recall things I’ve said in previous sessions so that I feel truly heard. Additionally, her interventions are always timely and constructive. She has helped me become more aware of the way that events affect me physically as well as to identify harmful relational patterns. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she has been truly amazing.
